Moroccan Bath in Business Bay
A Moroccan bath in Business Bay is a traditional hammam-style cleansing ritual. Warmth, black soap and a thorough exfoliating scrub leave your skin noticeably smoother and your body completely refreshed.
What is a Moroccan bath?
The Moroccan bath comes from the hammam tradition of North Africa, where bathing is a ritual of cleansing and renewal. In a typical Moroccan bath, the skin is first warmed and softened, then covered with a rich black soap (beldi soap) made from olives. After it has had time to work, the therapist uses a textured kessa glove to exfoliate the whole body, lifting away dead skin cells.
Depending on the ritual, the treatment may finish with a rinse and a nourishing mask or moisturiser. The exact steps can vary, so ask our team what is included in the Moroccan bath at Starlight Spa when you book. It pairs beautifully with a massage afterwards, when your skin is at its softest.

Who is a Moroccan bath for?
A Moroccan bath is ideal before a holiday or special event, after time in the sun, or whenever your skin feels dull and dry. It is also a lovely introduction to Middle Eastern and North African bathing culture for visitors staying near Downtown Dubai. Please avoid it right after waxing, shaving or sunburn. For the perfect pairing, follow it with a hot oil massage or an aromatherapy massage.

How to get the most from your Moroccan bath
Plan it before a massage
If you are booking more than one treatment, do the Moroccan bath first. Freshly exfoliated skin feels wonderful under massage oil and absorbs moisture beautifully.
Skip self-tan and fresh shaving
The scrub removes self-tan and can irritate freshly shaved or waxed skin. Leave a day or two between them for the best result.
Moisturise for days after
Your skin will feel very smooth. Keep it that way with a good moisturiser and plenty of water over the following days.

Moroccan Bath in Business Bay: FAQ
What is a Moroccan bath?
A traditional hammam ritual: warmth and steam soften the skin, black soap is applied, then a kessa mitt is used for an exfoliating scrub before you are rinsed clean.
What are the benefits of a Moroccan bath for skin?
The scrub removes dead skin cells, so skin feels noticeably smoother and brighter afterwards. Many guests book it before holidays and events.
What do you wear for a Moroccan bath?
Disposable underwear is usually provided for hygiene and privacy. Ask our team when you book and we will explain what to bring.
How often should you do a Moroccan bath?
For most skin types, once every few weeks is plenty, because the kessa scrub exfoliates deeply. Very sensitive skin may need longer between treatments.
Moroccan bath vs Turkish bath: what is the difference?
Both come from the hammam tradition of steam, washing and scrubbing. A Moroccan bath centres on black soap and the kessa mitt scrub; Turkish bath rituals traditionally add a foam wash on a heated marble platform.
